On a construction site men,women and children are workin in the ratio of 9:4:1 their wages are in the ratio of 8:5:3 if 60 women are working on this site then total daily wages of all the persons is 2850 rs so daily wages of a child is equal to ?

Answer 1

Let x be the ration for the number of them

So,

Total number of men women and children is = 9x , 4x, x

Now,

4x = 60

x=15

Number of men and children =

9×15 = 135

and

15 children

Let the ration of wages be y

So,

Wages of men ,children and women =

8y , 5y , 3y

No,w

8y×135 + 60×5y + 12×3y = 2850

1080y + 300y + 36y = 2850

y=2.0127

So,

The wage of child is = 2.0127×3

=6.038

Hope this helps !!!!!!!!!!
